-==== To scan to file: ====+==== Changing Default Scan Settings (such as scan size) ====
  
-  * Load your document into the document feeder, or place on the scanner glass. +To change your default scan settings to avoid getting really big files for simple text-only documents, do the following: 
-  * Enter your department code on the touch screen, and hit the "SCAN" button. +  * Sign in with your dept code 
-  * Press the [SCAN to FILE] button on-screen +  * Press the 'User Functions' button 
-  * Select "MFP local" to scan to the internal storage, or \\PHYSICS\DROPBOX to scan to our fileserver.. +  * Click the "user Tab" using the touch screen 
-  * Select among scan types (PDF, TIFF-multi, TIFF-single). +  * Select "Scan" 
-    * Use the scan functions [EDIT] button to set custom page size or to select scan dpi and color/monochrome settings. +  * Now arrow down until you see page 5/5 and the 'Resolution' box 
-  * Press "Scan!" to scan your document. +  * If you usually scan text-only documents and are getting very large files, set Resolution to 200dpi and 'Text' only
  
-If you don't have a department code for the (Astronomy) copier, you can use the "generic" code 53300, which allows you to scan but has no ability to copy or print.+==== Changing Scan Settings for Your Current Scan Session ====
  
-MFP local scans can be found on the Windows network neighborhood, in the network path ''\\TOSHIBA358\FILE_SHARE''. Scans sent to \\PHYSICS\DROPBOX may be found in the directory /home/ftp/dropbox on our unix/linux systems, after a few minutes. Any files not collected will be deleted after 3-4 days.+The above directions will change your scan settings for every log in with that ID number. If you want to change your scan settings for only your current log-in session, do the following: 
 +  * Press "Scan" button on the control panel using a button on the right-hand panel 
 +  * Click the 'Scan Setting' text in the right-hand-side of the display that pops up 
 +  * Now you can specify the resolution on the first screen (page 1/3) 
 +  * Press 'Original Mode' and it will pop up with a box of scan types. If it's just text, you can select 'Text', otherwise 'Text/Photo', etc.
  
-You can check the status of your scan job by hitting the "Job Status" button, then selecting "Log" and "Scan" in the on-screen menu.

 +<note>
 +If you find your scanned page has streaks or lines on it, especially when using the sheet feeder
 +  * check the transparent "window" on the rear bottom of the scanner lid. Often a loose scrap of paper will get lodged here and cause a line on pages scanned through the document feeder.
 +  * if that doesn't resolve it, check/clean the document glass
